Everyone from Bob Dylan to Modest Mouse and Beck have played this stunning live-performance venue, where fans sit in plush red seats beneath breathtaking ceilings with designs so intricate, they look like they belong in an ancient house of worship. (This makes sense, since Christ Community United Church restored the venue in 1969.) Grand balcony box seats, a hallway with a vintage “Telefoni” booth and massive chandeliers provide even more luxe ambiance, making for some truly appealing surroundings.
